Inspiring Others During A Crisis

During this time of unrest it can become overwhelming and deflating. It can at times be a struggle to be motivated and inspired. When you are not inspired it makes it impossible to inspire others.

Inspiration can come in many forms. It can be self-motivated by a person, place or thing and it can also be inspiration as a reflection of someone else. Either way it is important for our physical and mental health to ensure we stay motivated and focused during a crisis.

Inspiring Others During A Crisis

What is inspiration?

Inspiration is a feeling of enthusiasm you get from someone or something, that gives you new and creative ideas. Inspiration awakens us to new possibilities by allowing us to transcend our ordinary experiences and limitations. Inspiration propels a person from apathy to possibility, and transforms the way we perceive our own capabilities.

"The truth is that it's not about motivation. It's about support, empowerment, and empathy."

Inspiring Others During A Crisis

What is the difference?

EMPATHY is when you try to understand another’s feelings … it’s putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.

SYMPATHY on the other hand is being supportive to another by reaching your hand out in assistance & love.
